So nice! Watching your videos is helping me keep going through the Winter months here in the the U.S. I like how you show your finds all cleaned up at the end. Thank you!
I am from Rochester new York USA and love your video's mostly because I can see the Love between you two as you work together. I love your excitement as I feel the same way.
+jon lennon Having the same interest makes our bond stronger and being outdoors with mother nature livens up the atmosphere. Thanks for watching and commenting Jon and hope you get the chance to come to Australia one day. Cheers, Liz
Awesome video ! We have Quartz Crystals here in Arkansas, but I don`t live around where they are found. We love to see another video of you , digging opal.
Liz you are fabulous! I love your videos with Wal around Australia! And you have jewellery tutorials, you do beautiful work! Wondering if you and Wal prospect in Victoria at all? Have loved prospecting in Inverell and would love to do more down here, warm wishes x
We have prospected in some parts of Victoria. Too many places to go prospecting and not enough time. The Glenn Ines and Inverell area is where I'm nagging Wal to go next....;-) We just have to find the time to fit it into our schedule. Hopefully soon.... All the very best to you and hope you get to do more prospecting. Cheers, Liz
+Liz Kreate One of the largest ever sapphires was found up near Inverell. I used to do a bit of work just north of there and one of the locals was telling me that they used to use the pretty blue stones out of the creek in their shanghais. ;)
Those tiny little clear crystals would look great in a hourglass. Every now and then making jewelry i break a stone. I save them and put them in an hourglass, those little crystals would be just as cool.
Ii love quartz crystals, especially when you can find them in a cluster. In the state of Arkansas here in the states in and around diamond crater national park there have been large clusters found. A friend of mine has a huge one she uses as a door stop, lol. I know, there are many better uses. Happy Hunting
Thanks Thomas. Would love to find a HUGE one for my Gem Room. We do have an area here in Oz where massive Crystals are found but it's in a private farm. Might have to wait when they plough the field and offer our services to dig them out....lol
Liz thanks for the reply. My partner is also in love with Pedro, they are wonderful. Ideas. Make me laugh! Look forward to your next fossicking video. Oh yeah your jewellery videos are fabulous also. Warm wishes xxx
I found huge ones near a construction site. Some were about 8 in and real thick ones. But I guess bulldozers ran over them and their edges are chipped and somewhat uneven. I want to know if they can be evened out or we can smooth out the roughened ends
I have a ideal , you said you make jewelry with the gems you find, what not take one of the Quartz Crystals you find and shape it into a pendant shape, maybe tear drop and drill small holes in the crystal and add Opal where you drill the holes. You could add different shape opal in the holes.
Wow they are sparkly how beautiful i wish i could go there to dig and how fun just doing it hard work i know but those are really beautiful to make in to jewelry i love jewelry as well keep the video's com'in
Do you ever sell gems or gold??? Better yet gold paydirt or sapphire paydirt. I'd buy both paydirts from you after seeing how good you guys are. I prospect and sell Alabama paydirt but love trying paydirt from other places. Ga. and NC is great because of the chance at gems. Hope you can see this and respond. Great videos...Heath from Alabama
G'day Heath, we don't sell any of our finds since we only do this for a hobby. But in saying that, been trying to get a website set up (to start selling) for the past couple of years but the call of prospecting and fishing takes first priority...lol We will be selling gems and nuggets in the future but the paydirt is not possible due to quarantine issues. Best of luck and Happy Hunting. Liz
All of the prospecting for gold and gem videos featured in this channel are places that are open to the public. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
Joel Romano you can go to your County were they get their rocks and sign a release at your own Risk, you must be safe...if not always great finds around Creeks, Rivers or the Ocean.
A hillside full of beautiful crystals, and The Lad is focused on berries?? Lol...You've got your priorities right, Liz :-) Who cares about the berries??? (At least until morning tea time..)
Wal doesn't care much for Gems as his passion is with gold and fishing. Goes to show how little regards he has for them(gems). I have to argue and beg with him all the time just so he can take me to the gemfield after we finish with the goldfields. lol
+Alisa And Ashley I like to keep anything that looks pretty. Maybe you can go back there again one day and find others. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
So nice! Watching your videos is helping me keep going through the Winter months here in the the U.S. I like how you show your finds all cleaned up at the end. Thank you!

Got a couple lined up William but still baking in the oven. Won't be long....:-)
*****
What I meant by "baking in the oven" is that I'm in the process of editing videos.

They would make any type of jewelry because they are beautiful

Thanks Sharli. I am actually working right now on a few wire wraps using the "Nundle Diamonds." So excited!

By the way what is Nundle diamonds? How much is it worth? Your video is very informative. I wish I could also do it.
Google it and educate yourself.
ive just started my gemstone collection
Good luck
It looks like white Tourmoline. Am I right? What is is difference between Nundle diamonds and Tourmoline? Will u please eloborate?
I just want to facet them all so they look like little diamonds!
You are SO brave! Did you ever accidentally find a snake? 😳
I have a ideal , you said you make jewelry with the gems you find, what not take one of the Quartz Crystals you find and shape it into a pendant shape, maybe tear drop and drill small holes in the crystal and add Opal where you drill the holes. You could add different shape opal in the holes.
Thanks for the idea William. Will keep that in mind. Cheers
+Liz Kreate
Amazing, Australia is awsome!
I couldn't agree more! Cheers, Liz
ខ្ញុំមានដែរ។តើនាក់ត្រូវការទេ?

Joel Romano you can go to your County were they get their rocks and sign a release at your own Risk, you must be safe...if not always great finds around Creeks, Rivers or the Ocean.

Wal doesn't care much for Gems as his passion is with gold and fishing. Goes to show how little regards he has for them(gems). I have to argue and beg with him all the time just so he can take me to the gemfield after we finish with the goldfields. lol
Incomprehensible, what's wrong with him? Lol. Just wait until you find that record breaking 2 kg lump of fire opal....;-)
Are they worth anything Liz ?
They are if you put them into jewelry as they are amongst the clearest in the world. Thanks for watching Rawiri. Cheers, Liz
